Cellular Automaton 1D
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
This project implements a one dimensional cellular automaton. It is like the
|
|
famous *Game of Life*, but in 1D. If you are not familiar with the concept you
|
|
can read more on
|
|
[mathworld.wolfram.com](https://mathworld.wolfram.com/CellularAutomaton.html)
|
|
so I recommend simply try the application. It should be self explanatory and
|
|
you will be surprised.
|
|
|
|
The program runs in two stages. In the first stage the user configures the
|
|
initial population of the one automaton as well as the rule that is used for
|
|
creating the following populations. If you are not familiar with the rules
|
|
*Rule 90* with an initial cell in the middle is good enough.
|
|
|
|
In the second stage the program computes and visualizes the automaton. The
|
|
program can be paused with `p`, continued with `c`, single stepped with `s`,
|
|
reset with `r`, and terminated with `q`.

Have fun!
